LIEGE LANK ROBBERY. SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN LONDON. At Bow-street, London, on Monday, Moritz Booter, thirty-five, described as a diamond merchant, of no fixed home, and Max Kohen, twenty-eight, a commercial traveller, of Field- gate-street, Wliitechapel, were brought before Sir A. de Rutzen for extradition on the charge of larceny in Belgium. T Detective-Sergeant Curry, of Scotland Yard, stated that on Saturday afternoon, with De- tective-Sergeant Stephens, he arrested the two prisoners as they were leaving a jeweller's shop near Victoria Station. He told them that the warrant accused them of stealing bonds and money from a bank at Liege on January 6th last, and added that Booter was also wanted for breaking into a jeweller's shop at Southport in Feoruarv of last year. Booter replied, What proof have you got that I stole the bonds? You must have proof before you can arrest me." At the police- station Booter said, "Yes, this is all right; but can they take me back to Belgium? I have been in London seventeen years." He added that he had not been to Belgium. The Magistrate granted a remand. The accused are alleged to have been con- cerned with others in a daring bank robbery which occurred at Liege on January 6th last. A large safe was blown open with dynamite, and a sum of Jc.5,000 in cash stolen.

LOXG-DISTA CE HAL NOONING. A fresh long-distance aerial voyage is about to be undertaken by another Daily (Jrcrphic balloon. The objective before the aeronauts is Russia, or, possibly—should the conditions be favourable—Siberia. A new balloon has been constructed for the purpose—larger even than the Mammoth, in which the last attempt was made. The start will be made, it is hoped, next week.

BREWERS' LICENCES. A Parliamentary return just issued shows that for the last year the number of persons in the United Kingdom licensed as brewers for sale was 4,591. Private brewers licensed as liable to beer duty numbered 1,261, and those not so liable numbered 6,221. Victual- lers' licences issued numbered 101,191 on beer licences number 25,184, and off beer licences 11,692.

TYPHOID GERMS IN MURDER TRIAL. Bacteriology is represented as a criminal weapon in the allegations which form tho basis of a Kansas City murder trial. A well- known local physician is charged with the murder of Colonel Swopo and the attempted murder of several members of the- Swope household by poisoning them with typhoid germs administered in water. The accused, who married into the family in question, in- dignantly protests his innocence.

NO-RENT CAMPAIGN. A remarkable demonstration arising out of as agrarian dispute and seizure of cattle for rent was witnessed at Nenagh during a sale of the animals taken by the bailiffs. The town was thronged by farmers (who have embarked on a no-rent campaign), and bands with a horseman strangely dressed, and on a plat- form was placed a goat. The police cordon around the ground where the sale took place was rushed several times. After the sale the animals, decorated with green ribbons and laurels, were marched through the streets with bands.

STRIKE RIOTS AT PHILADELPHIA. The labour leaders at Philadelphia have fulfilled their threat, and same 40,000 men are estimated to have gone out on strike. A long-continued riot took place on Saturday in consequence of an attempt to hold a mass meeting which had been forbidden by the police.

RUGBY FOOTBALL. ♦— BRIDGEND. Hv defeating Aberavon on the Aberavon o-round on Saturday last, Bridgend broke it record of *21 years' standing. During tiiese long years matches have been played annualv between these two teams, but, this was the first time Bridgend have inflicted defeat on the Avonites on the Aberavon enclosure. That they fullv deserved their wim is certain, for thev plaved the better game all round. Although Bridgend had been going very stronglv, it was locally expected that the Avomtes, with the number of new Payers taken from the junior organisations, would be able to do well against them. There can be n) doubt that the play of Aberavon, thanks to the infusion of new blood, was a decided improvement upon past exhibitions. The first half was fairly even, but in the second Bridgend had most of the play, but the movement between Gwyn Jones and Jim Denovan, which saw the latter getting clean away from everyone would have been a cer- tain try had not Donovan attempted to get a better position for scoring by passing the ball to Will Jones. It was a fatal error, and it, no doubt, lost Aberavon the game. The Avonitea certainly shaped very much better than they have for some time past. The result was: Bridgend, one goal two tries (11 points); Aberavon. one try. On the Bridgend side, Griffiths, the full- back. was safe. E. J. Evans, Tom Evans and Gwilym Hopkins did good work at threequar- ter. W. J. Cooke and Clem Lewis played cleverly at half, and the best of a splendid pack were Ben Gronow, who played a great game, P.C. Stockford, and H. Deereman. The Reserve string of the Bridgend Club accomplished a praiseworthy feat on Satur- day by breaking their record and at last win- ning at home by three points to nil. Xanty- ffvllon Stars were their opponents. It was their first success on the Quarella Ground this season, and the fact that they failed to maintain the existing record acted somewhat badly on the spirits of the Stars. The game started with much strenuous play, and as it proceeded it developed into vigorous tackling bordering on rough play, until mas- ters culminated in a player being turned off. When Ellis scored a pretty try. the game lost much of its interest by the ill-feeling that was displayed, and two players on the oppo- sing sides lost their temper and resorted to a bout of fisticuffs, with the result that they, too, were ordered off. The final result was as above. The bad blood that had been in evidence continued after the game, and later in the evening there were distinct signs among par- tisans that the feeling had not died away "ith time' OVAL. MAESTEGF. Maesteg visited Llwynypia on Saturday, in a Glamorgan League encounter, and a tough game ended in a pointless draw. The game was played upon a ground whicii was a perfect quagmire. Play was ot a scrambling nature and quite uninteresting. GILFACH GOCH. The Wasps Mawr visited Xantymoel on Saturday to play a guarantee match with the Lions, and lost by 6 points to nil. There was a good attendance, as is usual when the Wasps visit the Ogmore. Again the Wasps were unable to put a representative team on the field, the most notable absentee being Si Jones (the captain). no t? The forwards played well. Sam Evans, Ike Edwards, and Bob Morgan deserve praise for the manner in which they went down to the ball and repeatedly saved their side Dick White and D. R. Davies, at half, played well, the latter's openings being fine. A trial was given a new-comer on the wing, who fullv justified his selection. His inclu- sion in the ranks of the Wasps will be a great acquisition to the team. He had hard lines on a few occasions in not scoring. tie dribbled nearly the length of the field, but grassed the oval out of bounds. Young Tucker, his centre, and J. M. Jones and Levshon Evans combined well. George Jones, at full back. who deputised Si Jones. tackled and kicked well. It is freely talked by supporters of the win- ter sport that it would be a good idea if a match could be arranged between the Lions and Wasps on neutral ground. I am sure we would get a bumper gate. and \he proceeds could be devoted to swell the exchequer of the Bridgend and District League. WASP. NANTYMOEL. A friendlv match with Gilfach was played under more favourable climatic conditions than has been anv home match this season. The homo team were unfortunate in being without Smith. Hodgson, and the brilliant forward Perkins. Perkins has received an injury; hence his absence from the Inter- League match at Bridgend and the present one. A speedy recovery is the wish of his many admirers. Nantymoel kicked up the slope* the return saw play in midfield- The homesters were soon in evidence with some clever passing. From a scrum Emanuel. inside half, passed to his partner, Boobyer, who did the same good turn to Pinkard. Cole, receiving in turn, was swift of foot and scored one of the best tries of the season. During the rest of the first half. although Xantymoel were press- ing, the Gilfach defence prevented scoring. The second half was robbed of some of its interest owing to the over-confidence of the Lions. Their vim and go was not what we usually look for. Jack Davies, with a fine dribble, got over, but was called back. He. however, was not to be denied, for soon after he got over so cleanly that there could be no cavil. We missed the grand bursts away so pecu- liar to the skipper, nor did he seem at home in the passing bouts. We are willing to be- lieve that the new men made it necessary for him to watch the collective play rather than shine as an individual player. James Chilcott, Crocker. and P. Davies need no bush; they are always good. A. J. Floyd and Harry Ham also made a splendid trial and pleased all. Cole and Jones, of the backs, were promin- ent and hard working, and the same meed of praise is deserved by the halves, Boobyer and Emanuel. We ought to have won by more than six points. OLDER REF, PONTYCYMMER. In ideal weather a match was played on Monday afternoon, in which more than or- dinary interest was evinced. The teams were Pontycymmer and the Barbarians, a team selected from the valley, some of whom are prominent in other teams. The proceeds were in aid of Pontycymmer Club funds. The Barbarian team included Gwyn Parry (Swansea 2nds). Jim Griffiths and E. J. Evans (Bridgend), and P.C. Davies (Ponty- cvmmer). Williams fielded from the kick off, and found touch at half way. By clever and fast work the Barbarians reached Pontvcymmer line, but sound play by Jess Griffiths and B. Feiven removed negotiations to mid field. From a scrum Pontvcymmer backs got in motion, and experienced hard lines in not scoring. G. Parry. by clever foot work. re- lieved, and found touch in the Pontycymmer 25. The Barbarians were beaten for possession in the next three or four scrums, but their full back (Phillips. of Blaengarw) was bril- liant in defence. Phillips put the Pontycym- mer line in danger. Hopkins just relieving by kicking into touch. After crossing over. Liedtke and Price saved well. and E. J. Evans brought relief by clever play. From a scrum the ball travelled via Leidtke to Evans, and a nice bout of passing by the Barbadian backs took nlace. but S. Feiven again saved finely The Por.yrymmer for- wards were frequently in possession, but their backs were handicapped bv the greatty stat" of the ball, and Davies and Lloyd experiences hard lines in not crossing the Barbarians' line. The game ended in a pointless draw. For the Barl^-rians, Parry. Griffiths, and Evans at forward, Evans at inside half. and Price and Liedtke were most notable; whilst for Pontycvmmer, W. Pearce. W. Powell at forward, Griffiths and Tucker at half, and Davies and Feiven were the pick. PENCOED. Pencoed added another win to their list on Saturday, this time at the expense of Porth- cawl. The match was played at Pencoed in fine \vc.:ther, and on a ground in grand condition. the first half, play was very even. Porthcawl were the better ri the open, but homesters excelled in tL. scrums and in t.ic- tight rushes. The second half became rather rough at times, the referee having to caution players on both sides. It was in this half that Pencood made the only score of the match. Thev were press- ing, and there was a scrum five yards out. The ball came out on the Pencoed side. and C. Davies, picking up. dived over on the blind side, the kick at goal failing by about a foot. G. Devonshire, D. Lewis, and J. Williams | were the pick of the Pencoed backs, while C. Davies and G. Trehajne were the best of the forwards. Theo. Burnell was the best of the visitors' backs, and was the means of keeping the Bcore down. Hopkins was the best of the forwards. Pencoed are now looking forward to their tour. They play Tenby United on Good Fri- day, and Pembroke Dock on Saturday. SPECTATOR,

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. 4 ASYLUMS. At Pare Gwvllt, last Saturday, the Angel- ton team were beaten in the shield match by & goals to 0. Angelton, winning the toss, decided to play with the wind in their favour, and the match began with a dry ball and the ground in good condition. For some miautes after tho kick off the Pare Gwyllt goal seemed in danger from the determined onslaughts made by the visiting forwards. Their efforts, however, proved fruitless, as D. Thomas, the Pare Gwyllt cus- todian, made a very able defence, and his play throughout the game was highly credit- able. It became evident that Angelton were not to have the game entirely to themselves, when the Pare Gwyllt forwards got on the g», and. after some pretty passing. H. Wil- liams sent the ball into the Angelton goal. This was the only goal scored in the first half. although matters would have been equal had W. Haines been successful with a penalty kick which he took and missed, the wind lifting the ball over the bar. In the second half Pare Gwyllt became pro- minent in the better display of football, their forwards, with one exception, playing a good game and being ably supported by their halves and backs. Bob Summers made him- self of high value by his fine kicking forward, and Gillett by his able display of heading. The team from Angelton, though working hard throughout the game, played much under their usual form. the left wing making no exhibition of their customary deftness when the ball was at their feet. and the backs also played a game under their standard. C. Arthur and W. Haines worked hard for their side, but with negative results, Pare Gwyllt scoring another 2 goals. Angelton's recent change of W. Haines from goal to centre forward does not seem to be to their advantage. CORNER. BRYNMENIN. Brynmenin seem to have fallen upftn evil days. The team that once vanquished even Porthcawl by four goals to nothing is rapidly passing into oblivion. The captain and his lieutenant have long forsaken the ship, and the club's decadence stimulates no sympathy in them, but, thanks to the untiring efforts of their able secretary. there is every prospect of the remaining fix- tures being fulfilled. Although only five Brynmeninites put in an appearance on Saturday, very capable sub- stitutes were found, and Cowbridge were ex- tremely fortunate in retaining their two years' record. The game was keenly con- tested from start to finish. The home forwards showed more individual- ism than combination, and their shooting in the firing zone was woefully weak at times. Mitchell was continually in the picture with smart individual bursts, and was undoubtedly the best forward on the field. Derbvshire used his speed to advantage on many occa- sions. but his placing of the ball was very in- accurate. Churchill and TV infield maintained their re- putation. The clerer footwork of the visiting forwards severely tested the home halves, of whorfi W iltshire was decidedly the Jbest, although Willie Edwards in the centre was a trier all through. Hinds and Taylor at back were a pair of sturdy defenders, the former in particular kicking with length and judgment. V Woodcock, in goal. did not have th oppor- tunities to show his usual brilliance. Touch reminds us that Porthcawl anjoys a record, as they hare not yet suffered cftfeat at home. Brynmenin visits them on Satur- day, with the sole object of "smudging" ^rfc If unsuccessful, a fixture may possibly be arl ranged with a team representing Tondu and district. t:> ^an-v thanks to the Robins and their offi- cials for assistance. Although very keen e*ists between the two teams, yet the Ix.W.H. team has on more than one occasion stretched forth a helping hand to the ever- needv Brvnmenin Club. Success to your Good Friday programme is the wish of RAFFLES. «

PROPOSED ASSOCIATION LEAGUE. TO TJDII BDITOt. Sir,—I should esteem it a favour if you will allow me the use of the columns ofV*the Gazette" for the purpose of making piRtlic the proposal to form an Association Football League for the season 1910-11. and in order that the various opinions of the Soccer players and supporters regarding the same may be heard. If the subject is discussed by the various teams at their next meetings and they would like to ventilate any proposals^ I may say that I intend to call a general meet- ing of all secretaries before the end of the close season. In regard to the wish of Porthcawl to play the pick of the valleys, I may say that if a match can be arranged to be played at Tondu (as this is the most central place), I will try to pick a suitable team to play them. Thank- ing you in anticipation.-—I remain, yours faithfully, L. WILLIAMS. 18 Coronation Street. Aberkenfig.

NO CHANGE FOR THREE YEARS. BRIDGEXD INCIDENT. For years the Bridgend opinion repeated here has remained unchanged. Indeed, a three years' test has served but to render it more full of encouragement than ever. Mrs. Lucy S. Penn, of 9 Sunnyside, Bridg- end. says: "For over 18 months I hardly knew how to get about the house, my back was so bad. The pains would come on sud- denly, and nearly bring me down. At length I was advised to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and I am glad to say that before I had taken many doses I found they were doing me good. The pains left me. Whenever I feel any sign of the old trouble returning I take a few doses of Doan's Pills. and they never fail to put me right. I heartily recommend Doan's Backache Kidney Pills to other sufferers. (Signed), Lucy S. Penn." Over three years later. Mrs. Penn said: I can say the same as I said over three ycnrs ago, for I am never troubled with Backache now. I am as well as ever I was, thanks to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills." Don't neglect your kidneys if you have any such unmistakable sign of kidr.ey and bladder trouble as puffy eyes, watery swellings in the ankles and limbs, urinary disorders, cloudy urine, rheumatism, aching back, pains in the loins and sides, irritability, nervousness, de- pression. and a constant worn-out feeling. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cure all these troubles by discharging the liquid poisons and waste in which so many fatal diseases have their beginning. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8 Wells-street. Ox- fird-street, London, W. Be sure you get the saue kind of pills as Mrs. Penn had.

OUR LONDON LETTER. [FROM "CK. OVTK CORSE,1;?ONDSST.] There I- 1: tie or no change in the political situation. '1"0 important legal appoiinmoius have been u-.xde, the House of Commons is occupying its-jlf with the Army and Civil Ser- vice Votes, Lord Lari.-xlowne has called the attention of the Kou^e of Lords to tiie delay of the 'Government in laying their financial proposals before Parliament, the King has gone to Biarritz, and Mr. As^aith has refused to entertain the suggestion that the Finance Bill should be passed in sections in order to allow the Income Tax to be collected. On Monday some cxeitement is expected in the House of Commons over the discussion on the Navy Estimates; on the same day the Lords will have before them Lord Re.seberv's motion dealing with the reform of that House. Lord Roseberv's proposal forms the Peers into a Committee of the whole House, which Com- mittee will be invited by Lord Rosebery to consider resolutions upon the reform of the Second Chamber. Th-a debate is likely to last for several days. Travelling strictly incognito as the Duke of Lancaster, the King left for Biarritz on Sun- day night. On such an occasion the Prime Minister is generally in attendance at the railway stat: II, but as Mr. Asquith \v;„s going to the country for the week-end his Majesty excusad tLj attendance of his principal adviser. It is understood that should unfore- seen political difficulties arise necessitating a further early interview with the King the Premier will go to Biarritz, and if his Majesty's presence in London is required before the ordinary expiration of his holiday he will at once return 2a England. At the moment it is not expected tliat either of these steps will be necessary. The result of the London County Council election lias left the parties in a faiHy equal state.. The Progressives gained twenty-one seats at the expense of tne Municipal Re- formers but the Reformers managed to re- tain sixty seats, which is exactly one more than half of the total. At one time it was ex- pected that the parties would be equal. There was a tie in Central Finsbury, and the re- count resulted in the Progressive being un- seated. The Municipal Reformers are thus still in power; but the policy of the Council will depend on the new Alder- men, ten of whom fall to be elected this year. Lord Haddo, the eldest son of the Earl of Aberdeen, gained a seat for the Pro- gressives in Peckham; Lord A. Thynnc re- tained his seat as Municipal Reformer in Marylebone (East); but the Earl of Harcl- wicke was defeated by the Progressive in East Finsbury. Two out of the five women candi- dates were returned—Miss Susan Lawrence bei.1g successful in West Marylebone. and Miss Adler in Central Hackney. It is esti- mated that about 48 per cent. of the elector- ate went to the poll. The Moderates' aggre- gate shows 72.554 fewer votes than three years ago; the Progressives' decrease is 36.252. which includes a lower Labour poll of more than 2.000. The lack of interest in this year's elections is due, of course, to the re- action of the General Election. Mr. Rufus Isaacs, the new Solicitor- General, is the most conspicuous figure at the English Bar. He has been marked for promo- tion for some time, and there is no doubt he will be a valuable acquisition to the Ministry. The appointment must mean a considerable financial sacrifice for Mr. Isaacs. The nomi- nal salarv of the Solicitor-General is £6,000, and with fees it averages £9,000 a year; but even £9,000 must be much under what he is making at present. No advocate since the days of Sir Charles Russell has commanded the same scale of fees as Mr. Isaacs, whose income during the last few years has ex- ceeded that of Russell in his palmiest days. His appointment will necessitate a by-election in Reading. At the General Election Mr. Isaacs was returned by 207 votes over his opponent, Major Leslie Renton and it is ex- pected that despite his email majority he will retain the seat should there be a contest. The approach of the 1911 census was heralded by the introduction of a bill in the House of Commons the other day by Mr. John Burns. Census Sunday is still a good way off, but the officials at Somerset House have been busy for a long tim-e making the neces- sary preparations for counting the heads of the inhabitants of these islands. The date fixed for this all-important operation is the last Sunday in March of next year, and as there is expected to be aa increase in the population the army of men who will be en- trusted with securing the necessary particulars will aggregate 40,000, several thousand above the number ili 1901. The figures, as usual, will be awaited with considerable interest. The population of the United Kingdom in 1901 was 41,548,721, but although since then there has been a decline in the birth-rate, and a steady increase in the number of those leav- ing these shores for homes in the Colonies, the figures are a.nticip&ted to show a substantial t increase. This year's Horse Show promises to beat all I records. No less than £50,000 is being spent I on the organisation of the exhibition, includ- ing prizes amounting to over £ 12,000. Olympia is to be transformed into an old English garden, with a background in imita- tion of Lowther Castle, the famous country seat of Lord Lonsdale, the president of the show. The arena is to be flanked with a half- ruined stone wall in place of the usual trellis- work, and masses of hollyhocks, foxgloves, lupinsr and other old-fashioned flowers will mingle to form a border. Fountains, rock gardens, waterfalls, and other rustic adjuncts will complete the scene, and altogether Olym- pia will be a very attractive place during the ten days it is open next June. As usual, there will be one or two new features in the pro- gramme. A competition for mounted con- stables is an innovation, a boys' or girls' hunter class is a novelty, while the toll-gate jump is something new in that highly-popular part of the proceedings. The Collingwood Centenary service at St. Paul's on Monday was an impressive affair. Busy City men snatched a few minutes from their desk to pay their tribute to the memory of one of God's own gentlemen." The Ad- miralty was officially represented, the Cor- poration tendered its respects, and many naval men in uniform, among them a dozen Admirals on tho active and retired list, gathered together under the dome to honour Nelson's famous Lieutenant. Collingwood, who died at sea five years after the great sea- fight off Cape St. Vincent, is buried in St. Paul's beside his great chief, with whom lie fought at Trafalgar. It is rather curious that the British Red Cross Society, with its branches in the coun- ties, cities, and principal towns of the king- dam" should be without one in London. The Lady Mayoress proposes to rectify this omis- sion by the formation at once of a London branch. Lady Knill's plan is that the City should be divided into districts co-extensive with the wards, over each of which a ladv— preferably the wife or daughter of an Alder- man—should preside. Those ladies would be vice-presidents, and with the addition of other representative ladies would form the committee of the branch. The objects of the British Red Cross Society need no co*r>- mendation, and the success of Lady Knill s efforts ought to be a foregone conclusion. There was some little excitement in the old Vic" in the Waterloo-road the other night when the Prince and Princess of Wales put in an appearance at a costers' concert. Time was when the old Vic was a place of doubtful reputation, but with a change of name—it used to be known as the Coburg— the hall has changed its manners and it was one of the very respectable ordinary every- night programme that their Highnesses had the pleasure of listening to. And it was an ordinary every-night crowd that cheered their arrival and departure. The gods who sat in the twopenny seats were out in full force, and during the course of the even- ing the Prince looked up many times to the gallery, where men and bo»ys in bowler hats and cloth caps, smoking cutty pipes and cigarettes, followed their favourites with that enthusiasm which is each a feature of the south side halls.

At the invitation of MessM. H. S. Pitt and Co., colliery owners. of Staffordshire, a pl1rty of workmen will viBit Germany at Whitsuntide per- sonallv to study the German workman. After a secret military trial tho Austrian mili- tary authorities are satisfied regarding the guilt of Lieutenant Hofrichter. who wafi arrested last December, accused of having sent poison cap- sules to ten staff officers and with having caused the death of one of them, Captain Mader.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. I BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. AGRICULTURE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS. Most of us are agreed that a love of what are called pastoral pursuits ought to be stirred in the minds of children living in the rural districts. The chief concern should be to keep coiuitry-reared boys and girlg on the land, rather than to invite the townsman to undertake work for which he is not fitted either by physical condition or by training. The only way, or one of the only ways, by which the "rural exodus will effectively be checked is by a genuine imitation of the ad- mirable methods in vogue at Shepton Mallet Grammar School, under Mr. William Aid- ridge. He has just issued a most interesting report of the past ten years' work, which he claims to have been successful- A speaker re- cently paid him the high tribute of saying that Somerset was the only county in Eng- land which had satisfactorily solved the pro- blem of rural secondary education." Mr. Aldridge's pupils tass through simple nature study and lessons in the art of observation up to the elements of botany, chemistry, and physics, as they are related to the industry of agriculture. The lessons are acceptably varied and brightened by visits to farms and practical demonstrations. This must be the right line to go upon. If some of the children finally decide to enter other professions or trades it will not matter; they will not find that general knowledge and their habits of observation and reflection are in any way a handicap; while if, on thQ contrary, they re- main in the country they will have a splendid groundwork on which to build a wide, prac- tical knowledge of their business. • » • THE SOYA BEAN TRADE. The Soya bean furnishes one of the most interesting examples in the whole history of international trade of the readiness of dealers and retail purchasers to turn instantly to new and little-known sources of supply when for some uncontrolled reason*or other the usual sources fail. When the Soya bean was intro- duced to provide a bean cake, other cakes ind feeding stuffs were exceptionally scarce and dear. It did not prove itself to be an ideal fattening food, but everyone who has used it. agr<*es in speaking highly of its service at a particularly awkward time. Now, it is sad to learn, it looks as if the trade may come to an end almost as swiftly as it was intro- duced. The harvest this season was not so :lry as formerly, and the condition of the beans promis.ed badly, so that they would scarcely stand shipment for the long journey. But as though that was not enough, there comes the information that the Chinese Go- vernment is likely to prohibit the exportation il these beans for State reasons. Of course, if the other sources of oil-cakes are bountiful tgain, the process of readjustment will be fairly simple. But none the less we shall regret the disappearance (which I hope will be only temporary) of the useful Soya bean. » » CLEANSING OF WATERCOURSES. I shoultl not like, from my own personal knowledge, to support the statement that 90 per cent. of the farmers of this country neg- led their watercourses. But undoubtedlv this element of good farming is ignored very extensively, and Mr. G« orge Keeble, of Peter- borough, has done good service by stirring up interest in the matter. When he made his recent tour through tht counties he saw the .and after an unusually protracted wet sea- son, and, consequently, the neglect of the .vatereourses was rather exaggerated. But :he object for which the ditches and dykes .ere made is in so many cases thoughtlessly overlooked or forgotten that a large amount )f land is likely to go sour and unproductive. [ think the reason of the neglect, which is ictually worse than it was a few years ago, is ihiefly due to a succession of dry seasons, .d1Ïch removed the apparei t need of close at- rention to drainage and expense upon its maintenance. Expense, of course, is a reason 'or many forms of neglect; hut it is not neces- sary for me to say how uneconomic and 'oolish are such attempts at saving. Mr. Keeble suggests that the Board of Agriculture ssue a leaflet to farmers, callJng attention to -his form of work and its importance. The Board already publishes a leaflet, No. 181 obtainable from Whitehall free of cost) but t is short, and deals chiefly with the legal aspect of the matter. Another might well be oublished, in readiness for next winter, con- taining hints on various methods of draining and so on. Neglect may not be so bad as to idmit of seeking a judicial order under the Land Drainage Act; but it may seriously affect the productive qualities of Cie land, and those we need to guard. THE CULTIVATION OF LUCERNE. It has often occurred to m. that luoerne rs not grown so much as it should be in this country; [he area devoted to it is ridiculously small in comparison with the value of the plant. It II ill not grow upon every class of soil nor ri a cold climate with suoceM. It delights in a deep soil. owing to the fact that its roots penetrate many feet into the subsoil, which makes it quite independent of dry weather. It is a crop which, when sown iB a clean field, will remain down for soveral years, until, in- deed, it is overcome by weods. It may b« cut at least three and sometimes four times in the year after it has been sown, and will produce even twenty tons to the acra. The report of a long series of exhaustive experiments in manuring lucerne is, therefore, to ba wel- comed, as its teaching may induce some who hitherto have hesitated to grow it. To supply the requirements of the crop it is customary to dress liberally with basic slag and potash salts. But opinion differs as to the manner of applying the dressing. The experiments were intended not only to compare the relative values of basic slag, superphosphate, muriate of potash, and kainit, but also to decide whether a single large dressing or repeated periodic dressings are preferable. The results of six years' trials may thus be summarised: On loamy soil basic slag yielded larger crops of lucerne than superphosphate. It was more advantageous to apply 3201b. basic slag annually than to apply 9601b. basic slag every third year. Muriate uf potash seemed to have a better effect than kainit. The superiority of basic sla-g over superphosphate is attri- buted to the lime contained in the former manure, whereas the application of super- phosphate rendered the soil poorer in alka- line lime. A plot manured with 1601b. muri- ate of potash and 3201b. basic slag yielded the largest amount of food constituents in the hay. CO-OPERATIVE BACON FACTORIES. Pigs come into fashion and go out of it in a. surprising way; when they are scarce after a period of comparative neglect prices are good. and it is not to be wondered at that schemes for encouraging pig-breeding a.nd bacon-curing enterprises should be widely discussed. Much is likely to be heard in the near future of co-operative bacon factories: the successful Irish schemes and the examples in Essex and Bedfordshire are themselves in- ducements to try similar ventures in other districts. There* are undoubtedly many dis- tricts where pigs could well bo reared on a much larger scale than at present, and for good quality meat there need not IM the slightest fear about finding favourable mar- kets—especially if disposed of on economical co-operative lines. The problem lies in the pigs themselves, and that must be setled with clear certainty before any extensive and costly venture is undertaken. The supply of stock must be regular and uniform, and suffi- ciently large. A small output one week is not by any means, in practice, balanced by a large output the week after. Such attempts at balancing up would load to great waste. The larger the number of producers i\ orki;;t together the easier it is to keep the supply tc something like an average each week. Each of the producers will have to understand clearly that there is a, period which is perilously short when maturity and qualitv is at its maximum, and then the stock must be sent to the factories. As well there must be most effective organisation to prevent that period being reached at about the same bm. by the stock of many of the producers, sc causing an expensive block. These are a few of the points to be borne well in mind before any district decides to form a bacon-curiuj factory of its- own.

THE WEEK'S GARDENING. :N THE FLOWER GARDEN. It may be necessary to repot Indiarubber plants grown in rooms. A compost of two parts loam, one part peat, and a little sand should be made up. Stand the roots in tepid (vatcr for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour prior to repotting, to moisten the old ball of roots and soil. Aubrietias, Camomile, Campanulas, Pan- I sies, Thrift. Saxifragas, Gnaphaliuins, and I other hardy edging plants should be divided and replanted whenever the ground is in workable order. It is important to plant the roves of them moderately thick, and press fine mould somewhat firmly about their base. The stock of Geraniums should be carefully gone over, and all damp leaves removed. If more cuttings are wanted, a little extra heat will help them; GOdeg. is just the tempera- ture to start them into gentle growth. When sufficiently advanced cuttings may be taken and inserted singly in small pots. and will be found very serviceable, but do not, as a rule, flower so freely as autumn-struck plants. Firm yet vigorous cuttings of perpetual Carnations may be inserted now, and these, if in good health, and placed in a warm greenhouse, or on a gentle hotbed in sandy soil, will form roots in about a month. When seen by the growing points to have rooted, air should be freely admitted, and a few days later the young plants transferred to pots of 3in, across the top. Half-decayed loam. mixed with one fourth of well decaved manure, and sand in like proportion, will form the best soil for the plants. They should be placed on a light and airy shelf in the greenhouse. By the end of April the pots should be full of roots, when the centre may be pinched out. Hydrangea cuttings struck in autumn will now need a shift into five-inch pots. Old turf soil and leaf-mould with a little bone-dust, or partly-decayed manure, suits them admir- ably, and care should be taken to see that the pots are sufficiently well drained. Place the plants in a light position in the greenhouse, and when growing freely give more water, ad- ministering liquid manure as the flower buds show. Hydrangeas which have been a. long time in the same pot will benefit now if care- fully taken out and some of the soil shaken awav. Fresh compost, must be substituteu, the long straggling growths being cut back a little. A single fine head of bloom is best secured by growing on autumn-struck cuttings. If seeds are sown in pots, boxes, or pans, good drainage in the form of crocks and Hie rougher p&rts of the compost are material helps to success. Seedlings have a great ob- jection to thriving in stagnant moisture. A rich compost is quite unnecessary for seed sowing. Old potting soil, with a little extra sand added to it, makes a capital medium for that purpose. Make the surface smooth L-y pressing it with a piece of board, and have a little extra fine soil in a separate heap with which to cover the seeds after they are sown. Cover them to about twice their own depth. If the soil is rather dry, give the pots or boxes a good soaking from a rosed can when filled with the soil, and then allow them to drain a few hours before sowing the seeds. Most seedlings sown in boxes should be trans- planted to other boxes or frames as soon as the second rough leaf appears. VEGETABLES AND FRUIT. Several varieties of Corn Salad, or Lamb's Lettuce, are cultivated on the Continent for salad, to which they are found to make a very acceptable addition. But seldom are they grown in this country. Those who are not acquainted with the various kinds of this plant should obtain some seeds of one or other of the improved types and give it a trial in the open ground. Good bulbs will be obtained from Winter Onions if they are now transplanted into en- riched, well-worked ground. They must be planted in rows seven or eight inches apart. Stretch a. line across the quarter, tread along it so as to form a blind drill, and set out the seedlings along it about eight inches asunder. Take care to let the real roots into the ground as deep as they will go, and make them firm. To produce Carrots or Parsnips for exv'M- tion a. thick-pointed wooden stake shoula Ie: obtained. With the thick end of the sta. > holes may be made in the soil at intervals o; 1ft. apart, .pressing the "dibber" down 2ft. deep. The dibber may be worked about when in the ground. The holes should then be filled with rich, finely-sifted soil, and a small stick should be used to ram it gently to the bot- toms of the holes. After each hole has been filled up, a few seeds should be put in iin. deep with the finger. When the plants come up, the weakest shaulu be weeded out, leav- ing two or three of th-s best in each prepared place until the danger from sings is over. Eventually, one plast only should be left to each space prepared for it. The roots will fill the holes originally formed and produoe clean, symmetrical growths. Foroed marrows are a profitable crop, the first fruits that are produced being worth at least threat times those grown later out of doors. When the weather becomes warm and settled the frames may be removed, and the plants will lead a hardier but not less fruitful life. A month hence will be ample time for sowing where the plants are to be grown out of doors. A steadier hetbed than Cucumbers I require is necessary, and a coarser compost may be used. A liberal syringing before clos- ing down on sunny afternoons and frequent applications of liquid manure when the plants are in full growth are advised. The female Marrow blooms need fertilising by han.that is, by the aid of a camel-hair brush—and as the flowers are only open during the «arly hours of the day it is easy to miss tiiia im- portant point if not kept well in mind. BEETROOT CI'LTITY-E. Beet should not succeed Spinach or root crops, but it may safely follow Beans or Peas, Cabbages, Onions, or Potatoes. It prefers a rather light but deep. well-dug soil, without rank manure, yet in good heart from a previ- I ous manuring in the autumn. Seaweed may be then dug into the border for Beet with ad- vantage, and a little salt (two ounces to the square yard) can be added in April, when preparing the bed, which should be thoroughly tilled at that time. Sow the seed in Ma.y in drills, very thinly after soaking the seed in water for a few hours, and thin out J until the plants are eight inches apart, or I more for large varieties. The seedlings thinned up can be planted elsewhere, if needed, but must be watered and shaded un- til established. Hoeing and weeding is all that is needed for them until November. when the crop should be carefully raised without injury to the tap-root, and stored in sand or soil in the cellar. It is important to remember that the leaves must not be cut but twisted off, so as to prevent bleeding. GREEN PEAS. Peas are easily managed, and may be pro- duced plentifully almost everywhere. But a certain amount of caM is required to pro- duce them well, especially if wanted very early. A deep, rich, and rather moist soil, in which there is a fair supply of thoroughly de- cayed manure, suits Peas best. They also like any sort of charred material, such as wood ashes, and the frequent application of liquid manure after they show blossom will prove beneficial. In choosing a position for the irst sowings, preference should be given to a spot where the soil is rather more light and drv thaa the part intended for the main crop; and it should be remembered that dwarf varieties will grow on poorer and lighter soils than the others. For early crops it is best to have the drills ranging from north to south. The soil should be previously trenched 2ft. deep. When the roots are near the surface thev suffer severely in dry weather, and the "drills being a little below the level gives them a better chance of en- during it. When the seed is sown cover it with a couple of inches of fine mould, or, if fine ashes can be had, they will answer better. The Peas themselves should be sown ia zigzag rows about 2in. apart.

PRINCE'S SOUTH AFRICA-N TOUR. DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMME. Details are given by a Durban correspon- dent of the plans for the tour to be under- taken by the Prince and Princess of WTales when they visit South Africa in the autumn to open the first United Parliament. Alto- gether their Royal Highnesses will spend forty-five days on South African soil, and in accordance with their express wish the pro- gramme has been made as free as passible from superfluous ceremonial. The Royal visitors will be accompanied over the Natal battlefields by Lord M-ethuon and General Botha. the principal event of a brief stay in Pretoria will be a grand military review, and the first part of October i.3 allotted to a hunting trip in Rhodesia. Then, vyben Cape- town is reached, at the end of the return journey through the sub-Cont.inent, the tour will culminate in the great ceremony which is to call into being a United South Africa.

ALLAN LINER IN COLLISION. On arrival in the Clyde on Sunday evening the Allan Line steamer Ionian, from Montreal, reported having been in collision with a dere- lict on Thursday evening. The impact was so severe that besides carrying away a part of the derelict the Ionian had forty plates on the port side smashed—all, fortunately, above the water-line. The fifty passengers on board were irtuch alarmed, but the officers were able very quickly to allay their fears. The dere- lict was a vessel •.vith a yellow funnel and two masts.

CROWN LANDS REVENUE. The abstract accounts of the Commissioners of his Majesty's woods, forests, and land revenues for the year ended March 31st, 1909, together with the report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General, just issued, show that £530,000 was paid to the Exchequer during the year on account of Crown Lands Revenue.

DEATH OF SIR E. WINGFIELD. The death has occurred at his residence, Mulbarton Hall, Norfolk, of Sir Edward Wingfield, K.C.B., in his seventy-sixth year. Educated at New College, Oxford, where he graduated, he was called to the Bar at Lin- coln's Inn, and went the Home Circuit. He was appointed Under-Secretary of State for the Celonies in 1878, and became Permanent Under-Secretary in 1897, retiring in 1900. He is survived by Lady Wingfield.

KILLED BY A TAXI-CAB. A girl named Anne Daires, aged ten, had just seen her aunt into a tramcar at Pen- rhiewtyn, near Neath, on Saturday night, when she was struck by a taxi-cab. Sh6 died within a few minutes.

SNOWSLIDE IN CANADA. A snowslide has ooeurred on the CanadkRi Pacific Railway near the summit of the Sel- kirk range, some miles west of Roger's Pass. A snow-train which was engaged in clearing the tracks was buried, and a number of work- men lost their lives.

GERMAN ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION. It has been decided to despatch a German expedition to endeavour to reach the South Pole. Lieutenant Filchner will lead the ex- pedition, which is to start from a base on Weddell Sea and advance straight across tho Antarctic continent to the Pole.

GIFTS TO LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY. Mr. W. H. Lever on Saturday communic?- ted to the Council and Professors of Liver- pool University his intention of applying for the benefit of the University, in the shape of buildings and endowments, the £ 91,0<?0 re- ceived by his firm in .settlement of the actions for libel brought last year against certain newspapers in London.

Awakened by th-9 falling of glass, and seeing i man climbir.g- through tho window of the Wantage Post-office, Mr. May, a neighbouring irapcr, called tho police, who caught the bur- glar red-handed. King Alfonse baa returned to Seville from Madrid. Prince Alexander of Battenberg arrived in Madrid on Saturday.
